The shooting took place just after 11 p.m., local time, when the suspect showed up with a rifle outside the building and started shooting, said Police Chief Eric Roller with the Antigo Police Department.

Two students from the prom were shot as they exited the building, said Roller.

According to Roller, police were already in the parking lot patrolling the event when they heard the gunshots and shot the suspect.

Roller said the suspect was also injured and was taken into custody and then transported to the hospital. He added that no other injuries were reported and all the people within the prom were eventually escorted from the school.

The would have protected them while walking out of the prom thinking of going "parking" before going home!

"Sarcasm" just in case it is not obvious to some.

Antigo, WI, population 8,000 and 90-miles NW of Green Bay.

It's 95% Caucasian, so I'm guessing - none.
